Having been to Gainesville and seen the surrounding communities, I'm more then confident in calling this man a Hillbilly.
As for you Ed--I respect your opinion but Hifi has insulted Buffalo, Brasky, and others with name calling--I'm just returning the favor. What goes around comes around and I know you don't like me or way I say things but at least you are on topic, talk about things on topic, and don't bring nonsense. I don't care if you like me or not, but you know I've followed the rules and this man hasn't. Insulting moderator, insulting Hoya fans isn't going to be tolerated by me and I'll attack him--you have right to ignore my posts if you don't like them--I suggest you do so if you don't like it, but this person will get no respect from me.

As I said before, this issue is done. But you did start a new one. I didn't "call out" Buffalo; all I did was mention that someone from the north (not Buffalo anymore, but still the north) might not have heard the news, like StPete or Miami for example. Sorry for the "insults" there Buff. One more necessary comment: you say I have insulted Brasky .... well, I guess if congratulating him on being the first person on any board anywhere that I have ever "ignored" is an insult ... then I have. But I do believe you have selective memory in that regard. I hate to point it out to you, but the ONLY reason I did that was that all he ever did was post "off-topic" replies, but more importantly, personal attacks and insults. I won't bother to waste my time but if you want to dig back and find things like "stepping in front of a bus" or a half dozen other things, then you should have little trouble. Still, you have repeatedly said that I have "broken the rules." I admit to still learning the ropes with regards to specific protocal here. And if posting a question regarding "general NCAA basketball" in HoyaTalk Basketball is a violation, then I admit to it, but haven't done so since. If posting a comment/question on a topic which already has a related thread is "clutter," then I am guilty as well. If posting only what you want to hear is a crime then I must plead guilty once again. I said before that I am not going to make this one "issue" the point. And I will stand by that after this one last comment. IF the Superbowl ends up being between the Chargers and the Bears, neither of which has a direct and universal tie to GU. And, God-forbid, a player for either team has a parent die in the two weeks leading up to the game, I ask you this one question: would that be covered by National news? I contend that it would. Now suppose that such a player happened to be a star, or key player on one of the teams .... would it be covered all the more? I am going to go on a limb and say yes. Honestly, I do not want this to happen this year or ever, but I obviously must use such a vivid image to penetrate the influence of your pre-drawn conclusions. I presume that you would be emailing ESPN, ABC, CBC and others about the ridiculous attention which they were giving the topic. In all honesty, I think that we could say the same thing about T.O. at almost any point over the past several years as well. I also thought that coverage of Big Ben's motorcycle was excessive. But that is just one man's opinion. As for "hillbilly" .... I have always thought that was an odd insult. But if you want to be in good company, then you are. Fans from the likes of Ole Miss, Georgia, Bama, FSU and even Tennessee have given such .... "compliments." Coming from you it really means something.

"As I've said before the issue is done" so you proceed to post 2 more times on it?
As for your comments--they don't apply here because they are hypothetical and have nothing to do with CFB and being in right thread is what I brought up initially and have a problem with in regards to your post. I never say a word if you stay on topic. This was off topic as was your love poem about Urban Meyer on page 28 of this thread. You repeatedly break the rules, acknowledge you're wrong and then continue to not follow the rules of the board--is it really that hard to stay on topic and not talk about Florida nonsense?
As you've done to many posters on this site, here's a recap of your bullcrap from just this thread:
1. Austin Hoya asks you to stay on topic due to your previous manure causing previous CFB thread to be locked. you acknowledge you will try to do so and admit you don't want to be "accused of hijacking another thread by Buff".
2. When one of the posters asks where you disappeared to after Florida loss to Auburn, your reply was; "I'll keep my comments on the game to the dedicated thread. That's how I've been told things are supposed to be done". PAGE 11
3. On page 19 of this thread when you were irate with me about comments your reply to Austin Hoya was "My apologies Austin-this did turn into a debate more suited for a better venue. I will try and stay on subject in this and other threads".
4. You follow that up with Gator Love poem on Meyer on Page 28 of this thread
5. Page 32, you post on Reggie Nelson's mother dying.
6. Page 33--above--you post on a hypothetical situation where someone on Chargers or Bears have a parent die and go on some crusade to explain why it would be news. What's that got to do with CFB thread? It makes no point whatsoever about Nelson's mother passing and it's irrelavance to Georgetown fans or this thread.
You can't stay on topic--you can't resist talking about Florida nonsense that doesn't matter--it's like a drug addiction with you. This is all coming from a guy who in this thread has claimed to be from "mother who raised 3 Straight A Students"--well I'm guessing by your comprehension of the words "Rules" and "Done talking about this issue" you are the 4th kid she raised, correct? Or maybe that super school system down in Florida gives out "A's" a bit more liberal then anywhere else? Don't know but you clearly don't understand what is being discussed and what is for this forum and what is not.
Of course with your busy schedule traveling to games --well unless Florida loses--then you don't make those--winning prizes from picking games on the radio, being a HS coach, and having a job that 'doesn't allow me time to post be online much"--which is truly baffling given your post count on this site and dedication to being here--when you are a Gator fan and must frequent their site along with Ohio State's site now--did you try your "My friend needs your prayers" line yet? Or are they too smart to know a troll trick when they see it?
It's not hard to get along here--just stay on topic and nobody has a problem. I've never given you a hard time when you are on topic--we disagree and don't see eye to eye on anything, but if you follow rules and are on topic--fine. It's the crap you've posted above that is pathetic--proves you have no regard to follow rules or are too ignorant to understand what rules mean--that is what I take issue with--and you attacked Buffalo Hoya many times--not to mention others and have called names--it's why everyone either hates your guts and blasts you or has chosen to ignore you completely.

Look Bozo, whether you like it or not, for at least this point in time, Ohio St. and Florida ARE college football. News of or concerning them clearly should be here in this thread. It is that simple.
Secondly, to pull out of context my analogy concerning the Chargers and Bears is clearly flawed. You throw out a bunch of nonsensical insults because you don't like me, which I really care nothing about, and then shroud them under the guise of "enforcing the board rules." That is fallacious reasoning at best.
It is patently obvious to anyone still breathing that the NFL analogy was to illustrate the validity of the initial post. If you want to disagre, then fine. That is your perogative.
I am not going to bother digging back through the archives of 30 something pages to repeat the rubbish you have spewed out on this one thread. Suffice it to say that it is a rather hefty amount. You criticize me for talking "about the Gators" on a college football thread when the Gators are playing for the National Championship.
Now that you have once again been shown the error of your ways, I will now respond to one last issue.

As much as I would love to respond to all of this rubbish, that clearly would not be about college football. Not coincidentally, these were topics discussed in other threads which you bring up here strangely enough. That being said, you didn't pay attention. I never claimed to be a straight A student. My three kids are straight A students and I certainly am not going to take anywhere near all of the credit, but I did have tiny bit to do with it.
Lastly, even you in your disgruntled state will have to chuckle at this one:
Or maybe that super school system down in Florida gives out "A's" a bit more liberal then anywhere else?
Are you saying that the "A" is more liberal? I would think that you meant "liberally" which would modify the verb "gives." You can probably dance around the issue and claim hyperbole by speaking of the "devalued" or otherwise suspect "A," but deep down inside you know you got that one wrong too.
Back to college football.
FSU is attempting to have a losing season for the first time since Booby's first season some 30 plus years ago. Let's go Bruins. We all want them to achieve their "goal."
Speaking of college football, did you all know that the Gators are playing for the National Championship on January 8th? I am sure that you did. If they accomplish that goal they will be the first program to ever hold the Basketball and Football trophies at one time. They are already one of only a handful of teams (7 I think) which have National Championships in both football and basketball.

"...the rules of the board don't allow name calling either --" "...and that I specifically have told you that I don't care and would rather you had died." Already addressed this Ed--as long as Hifi insults Hoya posters, makes racist comments about the University of Miami and their fanbase--as he'd done and quickly edited, I will return him the same "courtesy". Ed--you can keep bashing all you want--you are a Hoya--I don't care what you say--someone from another site/team's fanbase doesn't follow the rules, I'm assuming we all don't have to and will gladly defend fellow members of this site--whether you choose to like the post or not. Sorry but that's just how this site's rules seem to work now and if you don't care for it--there is the ignore button.

As for football--and I've been supporting the Pac 10 all year, and I realize bowl matchups don't always speak to how good/bad a conference is, the Pac 10 has been beyond AWFUL. Pitiful might be better and can't say anything to anyone who bashes it or hammers it this year--not if they keep playing so poorly.
FSU-UCLA was a summary of 2 bad football teams and the one bad team just had more athletes then the other. Don't know why UCLA abandoned their running game when basically going for about 10 a rushing attempt, but that's on Dorrell.
FSU--the jump ball worked--it's their staple play, will be their staple as long as Booby is on the sideline and is why they'll continue to have 5/6 loss seasons. Weatherford is a bad QB and Cowan's not much better--still think Ben Olson is the way to go for UCLA but Dorrell is going to do what mediocre coaches do--put too much stock into one victory.
The way the Pac 10 is playing now however, look for Cal to be thoroughly outclassed tomorrow night and not put up much of a fight--why should they when Oregon, ASU, and UCLA decided that playing football for 60 minutes isn't that important once regular season has concluded.

Florida football discussion is fine--the health/life/death of player's parents has no effect on the game, in any manner. A love poem you shared about Meyer matters in what way? The fact you got upset about someone doing the EXACT SAME THING you've done to numerous posters on this site in going back and rehashing old posts is amazing. You truly can dish out but can't take a thing. Everything I shared was typed by you and is in the thread, I didn't make it up and as you've done to me, Austin, Brasky, and others, I decided to share it since you continously say you'll abide by the rules and yet break them time and time again. As for you getting upset about the straight "A" comments--your response was in regard to Brasky making a derogatory comment on your mother--which is now your wife? Hey Ed, still think my "hillbilly" comment was too harsh? If anything it might not have been descriptive enough. Point has been more then made--and we've now found that you can throw **** in people's faces but don't like when someone fires back--can't say I didn't expect this reaction and didn't expect you to avoid the facts presented. We're all wrong time and time again, but I've got no problem admitting to being wrong, and taking the comments that come with it. Heck EasyEd can't stand me and he's not wrong in what he's typing about what I've posted, but he's also failing to recognize your continued presence on this site and rule breaking--simply because he's never liked my content and what I say--which is fine/his right, but why my posts are being allowed--if a troll can post garbage and break rules, members better be allowed to reply in same manner.

Typical Dorrell-coached team performance. And you see why I was so surprised by the results of the USC game?
Of course, in the greater scheme of things, I wouldn't trade 10 Emerald Bowl wins for that win over USC.

This thread has been great entertainment. Kind of like watching too batty old women in a retirement home argue about meaningless things.
"You took my efferdent!" "That is because you took my effergrip last week!"
Seriously, you two need to go out and find some other hobbies. Hifi, go play with your super-smart kids. RDF, I am sure that the isolation that comes with ice fishing might do wonders for your temper.
Actually, keep it up until our big east schedule begins.

Of course, in the greater scheme of things, I wouldn't trade 10 Emerald Bowl wins for that win over USC. Rooter, why did they stop running the ball? They were getting about 10 yards per carry and then tried to pass about every down when only needing a TD to regain the lead or TD to tie. Dorrell's comments after the game were far more disturbing. The "when people wake up tomorrow and see the score it'll look worse then it was...." that is loser talk. UCLA had total control of the game and looked as if they didn't really care if they won or not.

Of course, in the greater scheme of things, I wouldn't trade 10 Emerald Bowl wins for that win over USC. Well, if I may play devil's advocate for a moment, UCLA was an offensive pass interference call and a receiver running his route correctly away from being in that game in the 4th quarter. Now, if I may say what I really think, that was an incredible choke. In hindsight, I'm really not that surprised. The Bruins have choked majorly once already this season, and played timidly in close contests (excepting the SC win).

I really don't have an answer for RDF's question. I'd have to ask Dorrell.
As for that 4th and 9 TD pass, while the announcers both claimed there was offensive pass interference, I never saw a replay that showed the route being run, so I couldn't say. Three separate articles in the LA Times said that the defensive back slipped, so I have to assume the call was correct.
Also, to me, the loss is really more on the defense than the offense. 27 against FSU should have been more than enough. The defense that carried them the last 3 games just didn't show up. But still, I just have to keep reminding myself to remember the USC game. It may have been a fluke, but who cares.

TigerHoya, the Clemson season after Va Tech loss was only thing as ugly--if not more. Tommy Bowden should be fired--that was a better team then they showed from November on and it's on him--he knew his kicking game was garbage and it cost him BC game early in year--and almost the FSU game, so why even bother? Hang in there TigerHoya--tough end to a season that should've been better--but talent is improved and minute Clemson gets a better coach then little Bowden, they'll capitalize.
